Our Holiday Adventure Part 1

Wee Man and I went away for eight days. Where did we go? We went to Market Drayton in Shropshire to see family and we went to Whitworth in Lancashire to meet new friends.

We had a fantastic time! 

We went from Inverness airport on a Flybe aeroplane and landed at Birmingham International Airport.

We had to get on a shuttle bus to get to the actual airport building and collect our suitcases,

then we went on a computer operated monorail to Birmingham New Street train station, 

(picture courtesy of Google as it was too dark to get a photo)

where we caught a Virgin Pendolino train to Crewe. The Pendolino is Wee Man's favourite train in England, 'because it goes very fast and usually has 11 carriages'. 

At Crewe we got a taxi to my daughter's flat that she shares with her partner and two year old Jack. It was well past midnight because the plane had been delayed for two hours, so my grandson Jack was in bed. Wee Man and I were quite tired and hungry but we just had some breakfast cereal and went to bed just after 1:00am. 

Over the next few days we went to a soft play centre, 

had a ride in a fancy lift, (elevator)

had lunch in a nice restaurant

and went to Chester Zoo;

we heard this male lion roar, it was so loud and completely awe-inspiring.

That was a firm favourite part of the visit but Wee Man's favourite was seeing the giraffes

The tallest was about 4.5meters tall and the baby, which was born on 23rd December 2014, was about two meters tall.

We bought a soft toy giraffe in the gift shop and called her Geraldine.

And of course, we went on different buses and trains.

On Sunday morning Logan & Jack got to find and enjoy some little Easter eggs

whilst the packing was done.

We left at 1:15pm to go to Crewe train station for the next part of our adventure.

Love from Wee Man :-D

Anti Journal

Some new pages...........

...........even tho' I'm not actually here.

Well actually we've been and are now back, but my scheduling for this didn't work........grrr

Wee Man is on holiday from school for Easter so he and I are away on holiday from today, (Wednesday April 1st), to see my daughter for a few days and then to meet up with some blogging buddies, Lynn Holland and Helen Witcombe.

We have been so excited, counting down the days, 

and deciding what to take with us.

These guys have been deemed just tooo cheeky :D

But these little ones are juu-st right! :-D

I am taking some colouring pencils and a wee note book with me for random playtime, but I am also taking my Anti Journal with me in-case I get time to do some work in it.

The prompts for these pages are - Be quiet with lines - Be loud with lines - This was quite meditative to do.

Where as this page, 

Cover this Chair with Fabric - was just plain fiddly - making the background, to ground it, was much more fun(ner)! (Hehe, yes, I know)

But........ I am happy with the result :-D 

I hope to have internet access while I'm away, but if not I will endeavour to catch up with you all on my return.

I wonder what Carolyn and Karen have been doing in their own wreck it journals; I'm looking forward to finding out. 

Wishing you all a peaceful Easter.

With Loving Hugs from me

and Wee Man of course :-D
